Let me start by saying these clipboards are a mixed bag. The price is undeniably great for a 6-pack, but don't expect premium quality.

The good: The metal clips have surprising strength - they held my 50-page client files without slipping. I especially love the rubberized corners that prevent paper cuts (a lifesaver during hectic nursing shifts!). The hanging hole is genius for quick access in my home office.

The not-so-good: They do feel thin and lightweight. While testing, one clipboard cracked when dropped from waist height. Also, the color difference is real - blue ones indeed feel more durable than black as other reviewers noted.

Best uses: Perfect for students (group projects), waitstaff (order pads), or mobile professionals who need multiple boards. Not ideal for heavy-duty construction sites or packed medical charts exceeding 80 sheets.

Final verdict? For the price, they're decent workhorses - just handle with care and don't expect indestructible quality.
